About this map

Worthville sits at the confluence of the Kentucky River and Eagle Creek, anchoring a landscape where the river’s deep meanders dictate the local geography. The waterway forms a massive oxbow at Horseshoe Bend, a prominent natural feature that defines the southern portion of the quadrangle. This area serves as a tri-county junction where Carroll, Owen, and Henry counties meet, influencing the placement of settlements like Port Royal and Drennon Springs.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the distribution of family and community landmarks, such as the Pleasant Union Methodist Church Cem, Masonic Cem, and Vance Cem. The rural road network, including names like Old Kentucky 227 Rd and Springport Ferry Rd, hints at historical transit patterns before modern infrastructure. From the smaller waters of Canes Run to the community at Perry Park, the map provides a clear record of the region's river-dependent development.
